About

I have specialized in writing, editing and researching environmental issues for more than 30 years. My work has run the gamut of topics from renewable energy, energy efficiency and green buildings, to sustainable transportation, waste management and water conservation, and climate change adaptation and mitigation.S Boddy

I’m also a pretty darned good soup maker, gardener, forager, and inveterate rewriter of song lyrics.

I’ve been on a nature-driven journey for the last decade, helping to found and direct two local urban forest stewardship groups (Hampton Park, Carlington Woods), obtaining funding for their projects, working with land authorities, schools, NGOs, and many other groups on various urban forest and greenspace issues.

My latest venture, Naturally Yours, is a way for me to keep this momentum going. By reaching out to a broader audience for support, I hope to continue what has been started in the urban forests I love the most, and help other groups in Ottawa get over the most common hurdles.

  2. Hello Sharon,
    I’d love to bring your op-ed in today’s Citizen to the attention of GA List subscribers but the paper has not posted it yet (hope they do!). I only found it on Pressreader but the URL does not copy properly.
    Would you have the piece in some other form that I could distribute?

    • Hi Erwin, that would be great, thank you very much. The Citizen editor said that it would be online for Monday’s edition; there may also be a short video that has a few more details on the EPZ and the safety concerns. I’ve been working on this issue for the last three years and it’s quite the long and involved story. I’d be happy to bend your ear about it…it could be instructive for other groups. Cheers, Sharon
